Translation

You can create multilingual courses fast using Elucidat’s ‘Translation’ feature.

To use the ‘Translation feature’:

Create a ‘Master Course’ to base your Projects on.

Create a ‘Project’ for each language that you wish to translate by going to the ‘Get Started’ menu.

Selecting the ‘From one of your Master Courses?’ option:

Selecting your course (in this example the course is called ‘Translation Master Course’):

Naming your course, in this example I’ve chosen the name ‘Translation Master Course (French)’ as this is my French version:

…then clicking ‘Build it!’:

Repeat this for as many Projects as you require translations for.

Then in each ‘Project’ open the ‘Project settings’ menu and select the ‘Translation’ tab:

…then you have a choice of exporting as XLIFF or CSV.

XLIFF 1.2

Clicking this export option will download an XLIFF 1.2 file on to your computer.

This file can then be given to your translation agency (XLIFF is a very common translation format that most translation agencies will be familiar with).

Uploading XLIFF

Once you have translated your XLIFF files or received them back from your agency, upload them into the corresponding projects by ‘Configure’, selecting the ‘Translation’ tab and pressing ‘Import translation file’:

CSV

Clicking this export option will download an CSV file on to your computer.
